Founders Day
St Edward’s maintains a strong commitment to the promotion of Justice and Solidarity. On Founders Day, we come together as a community in celebration of our dedication to this Touchstone. The event is scheduled this year for Friday 31 August and our aim is to build community spirit and inclusivity at St Edward’s. It is anticipated that we will raise twenty thousand dollars that will be allocated to support the Mary Rice Centre for disabled children in Nairobi Kenya, St Edmund’s Wahroonga, St Joesph’s Primary School in Walgett and Edmund Rice Camps.
The College has a rich twenty-year tradition of celebrating this event on the calendar and we ask for the support of our whole school community in donating twenty dollars per student in the lead up to the day. This money is being collected at student reception. Students are permitted to attend the day in casual clothing and boys may dress up if they like.
Students will be provided with a BBQ lunch and drink on the day and entry into a raffle where over one hundred prizes including a television, mobile phones, sports equipment and many others that have been donated. The St Edward’s staff are working hard to provide a range of fun activities on the day, including rides, oval/outdoor activities, computer games, ice cream/lollies/cake stalls (boys will need some extra money for these) and over twenty fun activities. Attendance on the day is compulsory and the boys in Years 8-11 receive two hours towards their Waterford Project, once they have contributed their twenty dollar donation and attend on the day.
Wear a Hood
On Founders day Ms Toomey and students from EREBB will be promoting 'Wear a Hood for the Earth's Common Good'. Students are encouraged to wear a hoodie and take the pledge, see below:
Wear a Hood for the Earth's common good
I pledge that I will have confidence in myself,
That I will credit myself on success
I will try my personal best,
I will accept other people’s cultures and their beliefs,
I will care for the earth and its environments by treating it with the respect it deserves,
That when I wear my hood I will stand for the earth’s common good.

Waterford Project
Parents are reminded that all students in Years 8-11 are required to have completed their minimum fifteen hours of Waterford Community Service by the end of Term 3. It is the boys’ responsibility to find ways to complete their hours, through either the College offerings and/or their family’s community connections for example through parishes and sports clubs. Upcoming school-based opportunities offered to the boys are 40 Hour Famine, Homeless Sleep-out and Edmund Rice International. Boys are encouraged to see Mr Dell if they would like to participate in any of these activities. Your son must have his Waterford summary sheet submitted to his Religious Education Teacher by Week 9 of Term 3. Please contact Mr Pat Dell if you have any questions about Waterford.

The St Edward’s Under 13’s rugby union side put in a gutsy display at the recent Central Coast Sevens Tournament. With over 18 players unavailable due to rugby league commitments, the boys selected did everything in their power to keep the Eddies’ flag flying with pride on the day.
The boys started with a convincing 45-0 win over Narara Valley High School with everyone contributing. Unfortunately, the next game was against St Peter’s Catholic College, Tuggerah, and they were stacked full of strong athletes who were the tournament favourites. Our students never gave up and kept applying the pressure, however, the opposition were far too strong and came away with the win. This left our boys with a 4th place finish, meaning they had to play off in the semi-final against, once again, St Peter’s Catholic College. The game was a repeat of the previous one and every boy showed true character to back up and not relent for the full 14 minutes.
St Peter’s Catholic College went on to win the tournament, yet we, the St Edward’s team, certainly entertained the crowd and had fun on the day.
Thank you to Mr Foster for supporting us on the day.

Parent/Teacher Interviews for Term 3 will be held on two evenings, Tuesday 28 August (Week 6) and Thursday 6th September (Week 7).
